We prepared a birthday dinner for Bowie and the band one late night at 1 a.m. and he was such a gentleman and it was one of the greatest culinary events in my life
Rollins is amazing, I have had the pleasure of meeting this man three times after his show and he really is the most humble dude! Last time I got to see him he was telling me stories about Lemmy!
@@Weedeater58 Watch Henry's routines on Lemmy! I think it's one of his Wacken performances. They were good friends for decades, and hearing Henry talk about Lemmy so vividly is like you knew the guy.
I saw Henry Rollins live (spoken word) in 1984 when I was in High School and saw David Bowie live in concert in 1990. I bought Black Flag and Bowie records on Vinyl circa 1982/83.....Agreed that Bowie's music never gets old. He is a timeless classic.
When David died I was in a zombie state for about three days. Yes I was grieving and I was shocked at how much Bowie’s music actually meant to me. Cliché to say it but he had that live forever thing about him. He was one of those few artists I always went back to, Beatles , Dylan .
I know the feeling! I couldn’t even listen to his records for, like, a year after his passing, other than Blackstar and I barely made it through the last song cause I was sobbing so much. Thankfully I can listen to his records again, they are truly timely and timeless.
Henry Rollins is the man. I could listen to him talk for hours. He's so underrated as an actor as a musician as an author. He never gets the amount of attention he should.
Bowie's music saved me as well. In the early 80's. Many people I knew were saved by The Smiths or The Cure. For me it was Bowie. Much more varied, upbeat when I needed him to be, serious when I needed to think... Mostly wonderful music every time.
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars got me through more bad times than I can count. David Bowie has saved more people than every superhero combined.
When life has knocked me on my ass and I feel like I can't get back up, I have an unusual trio that always works: one commiserates, the next uplifts and the third connects me to others- Chris Cornell, David Bowie and Bob Marley.
WOW. The Bowie records had the same exact effect here. Saw Bowie twice, but never even came close to meeting him. That's an excellent story right there.
My husband and I used to practice what I would say and how I would act if I ever got to meet David because I didn't want to waste that precious moment by fainting or acting stupid. I was blessed to see 5 of his performances over the years. I never met him but I always felt like not only did I know him extremely well as I have studied so much about him and seen him so many times but I actually felt like he knew me. I felt he knew when I was in the audience. We had a "connection". ..I felt my life ran sort of parallel to his as we always had the same hair, every time I saw him. I have a "shrine " to him in my walk in closet of many Bowie mags, with some lip gloss I wore to one show, to artwork done of him. I miss my Starman. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
We all do. 😢 I was in Singapore when the news of his death came through so I got the staff of the hotel bar to play his music while I got absolutely hammered and wept into my mai tais….
When David Bowie died they played every video he ever made on VH1. I recorded them all and watched them all that week. I still have that list. I didn't even realize the impact he had made on my artistic sensibilities until his death. He was the epitome of a creative ever changing moving forward artist. It's almost useless to use words to describe him and his impact on culture. He was something beyond any category. Just an amazing human being! I would probably literally have exploded if I had been in Rollin's shoes and seen him in reality.
I once met Dweezil Zappa. Frank Zappa was my hero so obviously when I got the chance to see his son playing Zappa music I jumped at the chance. After the gig I managed to get a set list from the drummer, so I waited around to get Dweezil to sign it. When I finally got to meet him, he was signing my set list and I was thinking of something to ask, so I thought I would say something completely absurd and asked "If they reboot The Running Man, will you be in it?". He looked up at me confused, smiled and said "No". I could have asked him anything about the music or the band, but for me, absurdity is the only reality.
Completely blown away at how good he is. This is legit standup. I've always thought Henry Rollins was so pretentious. I was wrong. Finding an artist that challenges your beliefs is so rare anymy.... I've become a fan of Henry Rollins in less than 3 minutes. Thank you 🙏🏾
David Bowie was a very articulate, creative, and intelligent man. In some ways he reminds me of another deep thinker, profound observer of the human condition, virtuoso musician, and brilliant composer who also left us way too soon..........Frank Zappa.
I'd have a similar reaction if I ever met the black flag logo. Every single black flag album had a great logo on it, and the more you looked at it the more perfect it seemed. Listen to the record and you'd be like "well....I still want the logo on my jacket." That's how good that logo was.
Back then when Bowie lived in Berlin he hang around with the same crowds as my parents and once gave a vinyl of his to my mom. And she told me about the encounters as if they were the most normal things in the world. Fast forward 50 years and a legend himself Henry f*ing Rollins tells a story on stage about how he basically turned into a speechless teenager in front of his icon...
I'm going down a Rollins rabbit hole this morning. This story reminded me of meeting someone whose music had the same effect. Bowie was never that influence for me. For me, it was Danny Cavanagh of the band Anathema. Rollins said Bowie's music was a life-saver. That's how I feel about Anathema's music. They were never that big of a band, but they were special. I had never heard music as deeply emotional. They could take sorrow or bliss and transmute them into auditory opium. Anyway, I met Danny in Portland back in 2013, I think. They were doing a show with the French band Alcest. Danny and his brother are usually pretty aloof after shows, but he was present for a moment that night. I usually don't approach anyone after shows, but I had to. I told him how important his music was to me the best way I could, and I think I made his night. Sadly, the band went on indefinite hiatus after their last album due to the nonsense of COVID lockdowns, and Danny's own mental health seemed to decline afterwards. He was supposed to start a new project called Weather Systems, but it never happened. I hope he's doing okay. It breaks my heart that I'll probably never hear anything new from those guys again.
David Bowie was such a bad ass that in an interview with one of MTV's vj Mark Goodman, he criticized MTV for not playing black artists' videos during the day and only during the middle of the night when no one was watching...hahahahaha!!!
A I'm new here Henry Rollin Band ya....rock on....I grew up thru the end of 60s...an on into the 70s I still can't believe the great music that was on the forkin radio every day...skyward deep purple zeppelin Kansas bowie halen...heart...queen purple was my favorite but Bowie the great songs he kept coming out with....timeless was the vocals....oh u kids...I remember back in the old days when MTV stood for something like coughhh music television or something like that...thanks Henry for sharing that to funny...
The “he’s rarer than a snowy egret in Chincoteague in October” line had me rolling because I’m an avid birdwatcher and frequent the coast of the eastern shore of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia for spotting, typically from a kayak. Then the thought that he knew to say this, and is a DC native, and these places aren’t far from there made me think maybe we’re into more of the same shit than I thought.
My partner has a long standing friendship with Rollins. I got to meet him once back stage after his performance at the Melbourne Arts Centre - I was temporarily rendered aphasic by his presence while he regaled my partner with tales of dinner with The Shatners (lol). At some point about all I could muster was a "I loved your work in Black Flag man", to which he replied that he couldn't take much credit for that XD
Ironically I met Rollins in the early 90’s and he couldn’t have been a bigger prick. That said - my experience with him doesn’t define him. So - all is forgiven. I was at one of his spoken word concerts because I was a fan. I’ve held a bit of grudge. But I really shouldn’t. So. Henry - I’m unleashing you of this burden. I forgive you 😜
I can’t completely forgive him but he made some hell mad music, I also ended up at his first spoken word gig, expecting some loud punk rock to sooth my soul, worst night ever, but this homage to the great one raises him some in my eyes…
Met him in '92 after a show out by the bands tour buses. He was nice enough. Beastie Boys tour. I had bought End of Silence a month before and had listened to it probably 100 times at that point. I knew Black Flag well even though I was just a kid. A lot of ex-punks had touring bands at that time...PIL, BAD II, etc.
That's a good move. Resentments are rarely an actual burden to those we've found fault with, or been hurt by, but they certainly are a millstone which can often end up dragging us down. .. So, well done, there.
Met him twice, late eighties/early nineties - once after a Black Flag gig and later at a Sonic Youth/Firehose gig at, I think, Amherst College - totally cool and nice first time, charming and funny the second time. Maybe you caught him in a bad-mood moment - around those years a friend of mine met him and said same as you.
Finished for me... ...thing about Rollins, is that when he goes on stage it's 2 hours of pent up energy release. ...he'll tell a story like this in relation to something he started three tangents prior.
I’d really like to get a little more insight into what happened to him and Stevie ray vaughn cause from what I’ve heard not too big a fan of David Bowie as a person but I do like his music
I fell for Bowie at the age of 4, just before Bon Scott also took my heart, the influence was interesting, to say the least, but they saved me from mediocracy at least. (Funny how apple dictionary didn’t know of the existence of the word mediocracy, you would think it was in their manifesto)
Pneuma Thanks, I am glad to have the difference clarified now after looking it up, but given that mediocracy means a system where mediocrity is rewarded I guess that is impossible to avoid, but I certainly feel like I have always been an outsider. I have definitely been guilty of mediocre performances at times, so perhaps mediocracy isn’t too bad a fit for my statement. Can’t say I wasn’t confused about the word though, spelling is not my forte.
That is interesting to hear him talk about that because that is exactly how I felt when I met him in the back of a diner in Seattle Washington. I think I said I was just checking to see if he was real. Hahaha
I did meet him once and it took everything I had not to totally geek out, although he's told that same story about himself and any number of people he admires, so I'm sure he'd have understood.
Rollins was starstruck when seeing Bowie. How surprising. I thought he’d suplex him into the catering table and scream, “This is my green room, queer!”
It's always fun to hear famous people's tales of their encounter with Bowie and how it somehow changed them!
We prepared a birthday dinner for Bowie and the band one late night at 1 a.m. and he was such a gentleman and it was one of the greatest culinary events in my life
Now that's awesome
I hope it was vegan?
@@mattiassvanberg8292 who cares? as long as David Bowie and the band enjoyed it.
What did they have and did you get to join them?
Rollins is amazing, I have had the pleasure of meeting this man three times after his show and he really is the most humble dude! Last time I got to see him he was telling me stories about Lemmy!
❤ Lemmy too
Wish we could've seen Lemmy doing this just sitting in a rocking chair and just telling war stories.
He is a lefty whack job.
@@Weedeater58 Watch Henry's routines on Lemmy! I think it's one of his Wacken performances. They were good friends for decades, and hearing Henry talk about Lemmy so vividly is like you knew the guy.

I think his music will be considered better than the Beatles in a hundred years time.
When David died I was in a zombie state for about three days. Yes I was grieving and I was shocked at how much Bowie’s music actually meant to me. Cliché to say it but he had that live forever thing about him. He was one of those few artists I always went back to, Beatles , Dylan .
His passing had me numb for days
Yeah Dude. Same with me. Got the horrible Message from friend via whatsapp,close after wake up in he morning. Life was not more the same...
I know the feeling! I couldn’t even listen to his records for, like, a year after his passing, other than Blackstar and I barely made it through the last song cause I was sobbing so much. Thankfully I can listen to his records again, they are truly timely and timeless.
Bowie was a rare bird - he was the snow leopard of rock n roll! 👌🏻😁Awesome story Henry - I get your excitement!
The snow leopard of rock n roll.......
This is RIDICULOUSLY accurate.
He was the Patron Saint of Statutory.
Don’t kid yourself.
you've read a certain book, haven't you? ;-)
I thought he was an alligator.
Nah...he was a tiger on vaseline xD
His comdeic talents are WAY underrated. I think he'd be a killer stand up comic.
I thought he was
His comedic timing
is incredible!
big time. comedy is the expression of honesty and a great story. Rollins is a natural.
Henry Rollins fanning on other contemporaries is the best thing ever 😂❤
Henry Rollins is the man. I could listen to him talk for hours. He's so underrated as an actor as a musician as an author. He never gets the amount of attention he should.
I'm pretty he likes it that way
Bowie's music saved me as well. In the early 80's.
Many people I knew were saved by The Smiths or The Cure.
For me it was Bowie. Much more varied, upbeat when I needed him to be, serious when I needed to think... Mostly wonderful music every time.
Same...
Same with me Dude! Teenage Wildlife saved MY life! lol ;-)
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars got me through more bad times than I can count. David Bowie has saved more people than every superhero combined.
When life has knocked me on my ass and I feel like I can't get back up, I have an unusual trio that always works: one commiserates, the next uplifts and the third connects me to others- Chris Cornell, David Bowie and Bob Marley.
black flag unleashed my anger.. which saved me
Bowie makes my day every day. Henry is my cool big brother.
Rollins is such an incredibly real, genuine, and good human. I'm glad he got to have that experience.
WOW. The Bowie records had the same exact effect here. Saw Bowie twice, but never even came close to meeting him. That's an excellent story right there.

Love all of Bowie's Music but The Song Ziggy Stardust is my favorite Bowie Song. Sweet Things is a special song.
That was pure gold-a “We’re not worthy!” moment for Rollins! Bless him!🎧🙏🏻
Was it too much trouble to make the video long enough for the guy to finish his story/joke?
That's the cliff hanger to get you to watch the whole gig.
Not sure if it's the full story but it's considerably longer and recorded from a different angle.

He has jokes?
Ohhhhh you mean his music career

Saw Bowie on Sound + Vision tour. 10th row center.
Amazing 🤩
Who would not be in awe if Bowie called to them 😁😆😅

Bowie and Zappa had a really funny interaction in the late 70s read up on it it’s a clash of personalities

Like many rock fans we imagine having a normal conversation with a rock legend we greatly admire. For me, Bowie is one of my top 10.
Bowie was a nonce

I just found The Man Who Sold the World on vinyl and bought it for my wife for her birthday. It was so cool.
Heck, I would do the exact same thing if I met Henry Rollins.

Henry's spoken word appearances are gold. And the travel slide show you never knew you wanted to see.
Very entertaining told story of Mr. Rollins. Thanks!
Id pay to see this , he tells a great story
I saw him at Convocation Hall in Toronto years ago. Worth every dollar. Still the best spoken word show I've ever seen.
Henry Rollins is a treasure :D
The “he’s rarer than a snowy egret in Chincoteague in October” line had me rolling because I’m an avid birdwatcher and frequent the coast of the eastern shore of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia for spotting, typically from a kayak.

One of my girls loves Bowie due to Labyrinth, and I haven't had the heart to tell her he's gone.
OMG! I have to see Henry Rollins in person. He gets it about being a fan, I'd be the same way meeting him.
I do like Henry because he is a real fan ...
Love you Henry!
He is funny as heck. I had no idea. More please.
Man speeks truth and love
His Iggy impression is great! And yes, Bowie's records saved me too.
His records saved and gave a life direction to millions of people all over the world. He was/is magical!

Henry stories 🔥
"Offiicer on deck," lol.
"David Bowie walked by me..."
So jealous.
What a joyful human being.
Great story!!
Great story. Very cool.
Henry Rollins is a fucking gem of a human being.
Saw him a month ago and it was exhausting
@1:15 I met Ron Paul back in 2004. I felt the same way! IMHO
that was amazing.
Best ever was David Bowie on Extras
Merry Chistmas Mr. Lawrence was peak Bowie on cinema
The lights are burning much dimmer since Bowie left town.
BRAVO!!
Awesome awesome story🤘🤘🤘

...thing about Rollins, is that when he goes on stage it's 2 hours of pent up energy release. ...he'll tell a story like this in relation to something he started three tangents prior.
Damn I wanted to hear the rest.
My heart 🥰
His Iggy Pop impression is so funny, it kills me every time.
This is very very cool
great ! 😀
LOL, Rollins' comedic stage persona is just as different as his spoken word series he did in the 90s.
I think Rollins is under rating himself there by a long way. This is the man that wrote I'm a liar and is a special type of entertainer.
I’d really like to get a little more insight into what happened to him and Stevie ray vaughn cause from what I’ve heard not too big a fan of David Bowie as a person but I do like his music
I saw infinity in 1968 and didn't get that worked up over it. This is a fourteen year old girl shrieking "OMG! It's Him!"
I like the song by Phish "David Bowie"....
There's this obscure song of Bowie's called "Golden Years." Check it out! Very good song.
That's not obscure.
I fell for Bowie at the age of 4, just before Bon Scott also took my heart, the influence was interesting, to say the least, but they saved me from mediocracy at least.

I would have walked past him casually shouting "ground control to major tom"
Correct bowies albums are well timed like
That is interesting to hear him talk about that because that is exactly how I felt when I met him in the back of a diner in Seattle Washington. I think I said I was just checking to see if he was real. Hahaha
1:57 His mouth is huge!
My dad who I don’t talk to used to be a model model for a magazine with David Bowie only thing I have to brag about my dad
I'd feel that way if I met Rollins.

He just looks like your friendly neighborhood killer... But he thinks right. And he's funny. Thx
Should have just said 'hello dave, whats happening?'. They're only people.
respect. Bowie's the shit, ya nerd
Bill Whittle is looking great.
